I remember him with the Diddy Men on children’s tv and finding it all a bit odd. About 7 or 8 years ago I had to buy tickets to see my son’s youth orchestra at Dudley town hall and they posted me out tickets to see Doddy the night before by mistake; I did sort it out but that was the closest I got to seeing him. 5 hour comedy shows and utter love of what he was doing, something to be admired. RIP.

As a young man I didn't 'get' him. It was the 80's and the start of the whole 'alternative' comedy movement. I just thought Dodd was some old school 50's comic.I saw him on some sort of tv special and to my great surprise found him hilarious. I realised that in many respects he was more 'alternative' than any of them.

Similar thoughts here, he wasn't really "for me" but on reflection he was head and shoulders over a lot of the acts I was interested in.
